Lynx Rise: Oh, that roleplay (sexy)

April 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s an easy mistake to make. Us geeks sometimes tend to have only one thing on our minds. Lynx (who I think are Ax in the States) think their new Lynx Rise have a solution. The ad’s called “Lynx Rise Wake Up Calls #1 Roleplay”. This is a JavaScript player so to see the good […]

Jinx hops the pond; geek fashion steps up in the UK

April 12, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Jinx is a thriving niche fashion brand. It’s well known among my WoW friends. They’ve got 22 people making geek cred clothes (t-shirts, mainly, or since we’re talking American; tees) in San Diego. The fact that they’re well known among some gamer circles is impressive as their marketing department, based in Ohio, has less than […]

Graphic.ly grows, buys iFanBoy

February 22, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Graphic.ly is making waves in the digital comic world. They’ve bought the popular community site iFanboy. This means that iFanboy will become a division of Graphic.ly and they’ll be integrating it into the iFanboy site. My real-life job tells me they’ll have a hurdle if they attempt to switch domains and, at the very least, […]

The Adidas goes Star Wars ad

January 15, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t have much time for trainer junkies, or sports wear, or, well, sports in general – but Star Wars! Star Wars is another issue. So far I’ve resisted posting pictures of either Star Wars baseball caps or Star Wars shoes but this Star Wars / adidas Originals TV ad is too good to ignore. […]

SyFy coming to the UK

January 6, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

Last year the SciFi channel in the US became the SyFy channel. The fans weren’t that happy but the channel wanted to broaden the group of people it appealed too. Many fans grumbled; one my favourites is this Open Letter to SyFy from marketing guru Roger Wehbe at the Tribble Agency. In it Wehbe complains […]
